“The Hubble is showing the universe expanding in all four directions from the the Milky Way. The funny thing is, the stars are not expanding further away from each other. If all of the universe is expanding the stars would be getting further away from each other as they expand.”
Distance and orbital dynamics.
Imagine the moon rotating around the earth in an exact circle. If you suddenly “Create space” in between the earth and the moon what would happen? One would imagine the earth and the moon would be orbiting further apart. Which they would for a while. What would actually happen is the orbit would become slight elongated and eventually back into the original circular orbit.
Distance is another factor. 1,000 light years compared to 1 million will be very differently scaled results.
As for god? Thats up to you and any one else.
OK, Although I think my theory is no good, lets go with galaxies are held in place by orbital dynamics. If orbital dynamics include the bending of space, this can cause the galaxies to collide. Einstein's theory says to stretch fabric out tightly, place a bowling ball in the middle, place a marble at the edge of the fabric, and the marble rolls toward the bowling ball because the fabric is pushing on it, not because of the gravitational pull of the bowling ball. The smaller galaxies would eventually collide with the larger galaxies for the same reason. The moon will collide with the earth, the earth with the sun. It would all work the same. This may be why the stars are not moving farther apart with the expansion of the universe. I don't know, I am just running with the ball. Most likely in the wrong direction.
